Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor equipment technology, and more specifically, to a bulb planting device and a semiconductor device. Background Technology
[0002] Fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) is widely used in the semiconductor industry. Its main advantages include high-density integration, small package size, superior product performance, and high signal transmission frequency. FOWLP technology primarily achieves multi-pin outputs and smaller pin pitch. To meet the requirements of multi-chip packaging, a larger package area is often needed. Generally, after rewiring on the wafer, a ball-mounting process is performed again, followed by dicing into individual chips.
[0003] In existing technologies, if the machine malfunctions, a manual ball-mounting fixture is typically used for ball placement. The principle involves forming a solder layer on the ball-mounting pads on the back of the substrate using stencil printing, followed by reflow to form the solder balls. However, as the diameter of the solder balls increases, residual solder layer tends to accumulate in the stencil holes during printing, causing blockages. This can lead to insufficient solder application, resulting in solder balls of varying sizes. Utility Model Content

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the application provides a ball planting device 100, which comprises at least two printing steel meshes, the at least two printing steel meshes are used to be placed on a to-be-planted ball substrate 200 in sequence, and the aperture of the at least two printing steel meshes gradually decreases according to the sequence of being placed on the to-be-planted ball substrate 200. The ball planting device 100 can solve the problem of different sizes of tin balls caused by the phenomenon of hole blocking of the steel mesh in the prior art by manually planting balls by using at least two printing steel meshes with different apertures.
[0030] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 1 The ball planting device 100 includes at least two printing steel meshes, wherein the at least two printing steel meshes have different hole diameters, and the hole diameters of the at least two printing steel meshes gradually decrease according to the order of placement on the substrate 200 to be planted with balls. In other words, in actual use, the printing steel mesh with a larger hole diameter can be placed on the substrate 200 to be planted with balls first for coating and printing, and then the printing steel mesh with a smaller hole diameter can be placed on the substrate 200 to be planted with balls for coating and printing.
[0031] Compared with the problem of uneven tin ball size caused by the phenomenon of hole blocking of a steel mesh in the prior art, the ball planting device 100 provided by the present application includes at least two printing steel meshes with different hole diameters. In actual use, by using at least two printing steel meshes with different hole diameters for manual ball planting, the amount of tin paste in each mesh hole of the printing steel mesh can be reduced, and the probability of hole blocking of the printing steel mesh can be reduced, thereby ensuring that the amount of tin in each mesh hole of the printing steel mesh is sufficient, and further ensuring the consistency of the size of the tin balls obtained.
[0032] For example, as shown in Figure 1 In this embodiment, the number of printing steel meshes is three, and the hole diameters of the printing steel mesh 10a, the printing steel mesh 10b, and the printing steel mesh 10c gradually decrease according to the order of placement on the substrate 200 to be planted with balls. In actual use, the printing steel mesh 10a can be placed on the substrate 200 to be planted with balls first for coating and printing of tin paste, then the printing steel mesh 10b can be placed on the substrate 200 to be planted with balls for coating and printing of tin paste, and finally the printing steel mesh 10c can be placed on the substrate 200 to be planted with balls for coating and printing of tin paste, and tin balls are formed after reflow.
[0033] As an implementable manner, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The ball planting device 100 further includes a placement base 20 for placing the substrate 200 to be planted with balls and the printing steel mesh, so as to provide installation and support for the substrate 200 to be planted with balls and the printing steel mesh through the placement base 20, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the manual ball planting process.
[0034] As an implementable manner, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The placement base 20 is provided with a placement groove 21, and the substrate 200 to be planted with balls is positioned and placed in the placement groove 21, so as to play a positioning role for the substrate 200 to be planted with balls through the placement groove 21. The shape and size of the placement groove 21 should match the shape and size of the substrate 200 to be planted with balls.
[0035] As an implementable manner, as shown in Figure 1 The placing base 20 is provided with a first matching part 22, and the printing steel mesh is provided with a second matching part 11. The first matching part 22 and the second matching part 11 match with each other to position the printing steel mesh in the placing base 20. Thus, under the joint action of the first matching part 22 and the second matching part 11, the printing steel mesh can be positioned and assembled in the placing base 20, thereby ensuring that the printing steel mesh can be aligned with the ball-planting substrate 200.
[0036] As an implementable manner, as shown in Figure 1 In this embodiment, the first matching part 22 is a protrusion, and the second matching part 11 is a groove corresponding to the protrusion. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first matching part 22 is a groove, and the second matching part 11 is a protrusion corresponding to the groove. As long as the first matching part 22 and the second matching part 11 can match to play a positioning role and can ensure that the printing steel mesh is aligned with the ball-planting substrate 200, it is acceptable.
[0037] As an implementable manner, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 The ball-planting device 100 further includes a positioning frame 30. The ball-planting substrate 200, the printing steel mesh, and the positioning frame 30 are sequentially stacked to match the printing steel mesh with the positioning frame 30 to coat the printing tin paste, so that the tin paste is prevented from overflowing by the positioning frame 30.
[0038] For example, as shown in Figure 1 In actual use, the printing steel mesh 10a can be first placed on the ball-planting substrate 200, and then the positioning frame 30 is placed on the printing steel mesh 10a to coat the tin paste. After the first coating and printing, the positioning frame 30 is removed, and then the printing steel mesh 10b is placed on the ball-planting substrate 200. Then, the positioning frame 30 is placed on the printing steel mesh 10b to coat the tin paste. After the second coating and printing, the positioning frame 30 is removed, and then the printing steel mesh 10c is placed on the ball-planting substrate 200. Then, the positioning frame 30 is placed on the printing steel mesh 10c to coat the tin paste. Finally, the positioning frame 30 and all the printing steel meshes are removed, and the tin paste is reflowed to form tin balls.
[0039] As an implementable manner, as shown in Figure 1 The positioning frame 30 includes a side wall frame 31 and a surrounding wall frame 32 detachably connected to the side wall frame 31. In the stacking direction, the side wall frame 31 protrudes from the surrounding wall frame 32, so that the tin paste in the surrounding wall frame 32 is further prevented from overflowing, thereby playing a double protection role.
[0040] As an implementation, a plurality of mounting holes are arranged on the side wall frame 31 along the stacking direction, and the surrounding wall frame 32 can be mounted in any one of the mounting holes to change the height difference between the side wall frame 31 and the surrounding wall frame 32.
[0041] As an implementation, as shown in Figure 1 At least two printing steel meshes are arranged in one-to-one correspondence to ensure that the tin paste in the corresponding mesh holes along the stacking direction forms tin balls after reflowing again.
[0042] In a second aspect, the application provides a semiconductor device comprising the ball mounting device 100. Since the structure and advantages of the ball mounting device 100 have been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments, they will not be described here again.
[0043] The above only describes optional embodiments of the application and is not intended to limit the application. For those skilled in the art, the application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
[0044] In addition, it should be noted that each specific technical feature described in the foregoing specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, various possible combinations will not be described again in the application.
